When Aaron had the bike, it was restricted to 33bhp, so it's safe to say, fuelling wasn't touched.

even so, I would expect more if folk are claiming up to 70 mpg on long runs of 50 through out town

Yes, but that usually means pootling at 70 on m-ways.

Depends how they ride mate.

My pointy isn't great on mileage, better now since I changed the restriction method.

I don't know how much mpg I get, but around £1 = 10 miles..
Usually less, as I cane the bike (33bhp) to keep up with the rest of the guys Especially Arron.

So maybe 35-50 mpg.

On a random note, fancy a cheap curry on Thursday at the Holburn?

Do you travel around Garthdee alot? Am sure I have seen you at the big roundabout beside Asda.. Wheres work?

I would be up for a curry, the missus is working the next few thursdays but a christmas curry in December would be fine.. I live in Kinkycorth but work in the town centre, can be seen daily on the A90 roundabout or on riverside drive as I make my way to work.. I usually park my bike at Slains Castle on Belmont st or outside the Priory.

My 51 curvy does around 150 miles full back to fuel light on. I'm quite happy with that cos I only usually put around £13.00 in which I make to be about 60mpg.

Much better than the car anyway which is a crappy old corsa doing about 35mpg!!
